We’re trying for a girl and have many family members names we want to honour. I’m not pregnant yet 🤞😂 but I’m curious as to what the public would think of my potential daughter. DS is called Philip and we are a French bilingual family

Did you post a list?
If so, it's not showing (on phone using app).

Voted Jacqueline even though I don’t love it, but I’d never go Christine (horrible aunt) and Paula just reminds me of an 80s school bully.

Double barreled Maries were very popular when I was at school in the 80s in my year there was Lisa-Marie (about 20 in the school), Marie-Louise, Louise-Marie, Marie-Claire every one of them reduced their names to single names.

My mum is Christine so I guess it would mostly be Marie because it would feel weird to say my mums name like that 😂 do you know what I mean? Imagine giving your child your parents name and calling them! It’s a bit funny to me

Marie Christine is alright

Paula and Paulette are a bit 60s grim and Jacqueline will be Jackie which is similarly 60s grim
